Lyrics

LATE SEPTEMBER SONG

This late September song
Don’t throw it all away
Dying leaves are falling
To mark the end of day
And though your last goodbyes
Are echoing in time
You opened up the world to me
You opened up the world
You threw it all away
....and now you’re gone
No tenderness required
....and winter sings its’ bitter song
Every little thing you said
....the trees are bare
Is etched upon my mind
....and all summer birds have flown
With stillness all revealing
....open up your eyes
Those gifts that you declined
....to see what you’ve become
You opened up the world to me
You opened up the world.

We threw it all away
....one moonlit night
You said the time was right
....I wished upon a fallen star
How bitter was that day
....I held my breath
How dark that sacred night
....and prayed you would not be far
You must have had your reasons
....open up your eyes
I know that I had mine
....to see what you’ve become
You opened up the world to me
You opened up the world.
